RAC is partnering with a global low-carbon energy provider to achieve our vision and contribute positively to the environment and keep it safe for future generations," remarked its CEO Engineer Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Maghlouth.
"The energy efficiency audit includes improving energy efficiency on the supply and demand side, optimizing the distribution network, implementing cost efficiency measures through internal tariffs and billing structures, enhancing building energy management systems and pumping stations and water networks," he added.
